Chicago Toy and Game Fair Giveaway: Week 5 of 6!
Last year, one of the best events I had a chance to attend was the Chicago Toy & Game Fair (read my report here). For 2013, ChiTag is back for it’s 11th Annual event, taking place November 23-24 at Navy Pier, right at the heart of Chicago’s beautiful lakefront. It’s the only public event of it’s kind, allowing kids and grownups of all-ages to get a peek and play with some of the hottest upcoming toys and games, all while taking part in special events and shopping at the same time. The Rock Father and ChiTag have teamed-up to get six lucky families hooked-up with weekend passes to the show, one per week leading up to the big event. Want to join us at Navy Pier?
